On November 10, Daynilis Lobaina Torrell was attacked by her partner in her home in Maisí
14ymedio, Havana, 16 November 2024 — Daynilis Lobaina Torrell, 30, was the victim of a femicide murder on November 10 in her home in the municipality of Maisí, in Guantánamo. According to what her family and other close sources have published on social networks, the woman was attacked by her partner, leaving two girls aged 9 and 14 orphaned
According to Daribel Lobaina Torrell, who identified herself as a relative of the victim on social media, the attacker hit her several times with a machete. “Her aunt told him not to hit her any more, but he did it more and harder,” she says.
“I can tell you that what the boy did was terrible, unforgivable and incomprehensible, because I participated in the girl’s autopsy yesterday and it was disastrous. In the years I worked at the morgue, I have never seen anything like it,” said another poster on social media.
The posts also identify the alleged aggressor as a violent person who has been involved in several crimes. According to CiberCuba, which contacted a source close to Lobaina Torrell, the murderer fled after the murder, but was captured shortly after by the municipal authorities.
Last Wednesday, Vania Mojena, 43, was also murdered by her partner.
Cibercuba also claims that Lobaina Torrell’s partner acted with “premeditation and extreme violence,” and that he planned to attack not only the victim, but also her daughters and other close relatives. “He also seriously injured the woman’s uncle, who is hospitalized, while a cousin suffered less severe injuries,” it adds.
Three days later, last Wednesday, Vania Mojena , 43, a resident of the town of Mabay, near the city of Bayamo, in Granma, was also murdered by her partner.
A post on the Facebook group Revolico in Mabay, made by an anonymous user, reported the femicide murder of Mojena. According to close sources, after returning from a trip to Russia, the alleged aggressor visited Mojeda’s home on Wednesday night where he dealt her several machete blows “in front of her children.” According to reports, the victim was a mother of two minors and an adult daughter, who confirmed the events in a comment at the bottom of the post.
